Ski Holidays, Without the Hassle
If you could strip away everything that makes a ski trip stressful, lugging gear, battling lift queues, squeezing onto packed shuttles and what you’re left with is a ski trip that feels more like Big White. This British Columbia resort is purpose-built for skiers who want maximum time on the mountain and minimum faff. It’s one of the few North American destinations where true ski-in, ski-out accommodation is the rule, not the exception. Step out of your room, click in, and you’re off. No buses, no boot-walking through town, no wasted minutes.
That’s just one of the reasons Big White has built a reputation among UK skiers as one of Canada’s most hassle-free resorts. Add in 100% natural snow and over 750cm of famously dry “Okanagan Champagne Powder” each season and with terrain that caters to everyone from first-timers to experienced freeriders, and you’ve got the perfect combo: real snow, doorstep access, and something for every skier.
Ski-In, Ski-Out: The Easiest Way to Holiday on Snow
Big White’s ski-through village means many of its accommodations are genuinely ski-in, ski-out, not just nearby. That one detail transforms the entire experience.
Forget shuttles or parking chaos. You’re stepping out of your room and straight onto the slopes. The lifts are right there and often visible from your balcony.
At the Inn at Big White, you’re in the centre of it all. Ski lifts, restaurants, and shops are all just steps away. Suites come with galley kitchens, ski storage is secure, and the outdoor pool and hot tub are the perfect reward after a day on snow.
Need more space? Sundance Resort sits beside the Bullet Express lift and offers everything from studios to private cabins. With its own games room, cinema, pool deck and on-call shuttle service, it’s a hit with families and groups. In short, this is ski accommodation that works hard, so you don’t have to.
Real Snow, Real Terrain: Why Big White Delivers on the Mountain
Not all snow is created equal. At Big White, it’s not just about how much falls but about what kind.
This is Okanagan Champagne Powder: dry, floaty, and effortless to ski. No snow machines, no slush, no compromises. With 100% natural snowfall and over 750cm each year, it’s the real deal made even more magical by the resort’s famous “snow ghosts,” frost-covered trees that turn the mountain into a dreamscape.
Spread across 1,147 hectares, Big White’s terrain is laid out with intention. Every lift has a green run down, so beginners never feel stranded. Intermediates can cruise flowing rollers, while experts drop into bowls, steeps, and glades. And with the second-largest lift system in BC—moving 28,700 skiers per hour—getting around the mountain is fast, smooth, and hassle-free.
Freestyle riders are covered too with a terrain park designed to be progressive and inclusive. And when the sun goes down, Big White keeps the lights on with Western Canada’s largest night skiing area, ideal for extra laps under the stars.
